| Obverse description | Forepart of a horse facing left, rendered in archaic style characteristic of 4th-century BC Cilician coinage. The protome is depicted with the head turned frontally or in three-quarter view, with a prominent eye and boldly modeled musculature. The design is set on a plain, unadorned field typical of small fractional silver issues of the region. |

| Reverse description | A winged lion advancing to the left, shown in profile with the body rendered in a compact, stylized manner consistent with Achaemenid-influenced Cilician artistic traditions. The wings are displayed upward and folded, rising prominently above the leonine body. The field is plain and unscribed, with no legend or exergual line, typical of anonymous fractional issues attributed to uncertain Cilician mints of the 4th century BC. |
